I’m an ex-smoker myself, and I wouldn’t want anyone to start smoking. Although, he might do it, voluntarily, after he realises that the **Eagles will beat the Giants**. ---

Five minutes left in the second quarter, it’s a defensive battle. 7-0 Giants. Eagles are starting to warm up on offense, though. I’m still confident. ---

Since you don’t use the standard sig function, if I had won the bet, yours would’ve been there for eternity. Mine, however, will disappear once I finish posting 96 or so more times. ---
